Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

How could Qian Huiren forget the year 1986 in his life?1986 may be an ordinary year in the history of China's reform, but it was very unusual for Gulong County in the Wenshan area. The ground-breaking incident of Liuji Township's land division pushed him to the center of a political storm .In the center of the storm, Zhao Anbang and Baiming really got to know a township party secretary named Qian Huiren, and he chose these two open-minded leaders without hesitation.Later facts proved that it was his choice in Wenshan in 1986 that determined his subsequent career. Many years later, Qian Huiren still remembers it very clearly: On a night in early March 1986, Zhao Anbang rode a bicycle against the cold wind in early spring, and rushed to his house in Liuji Township alone, saying yes Ask him for a drink.The wine is good wine, two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao, brought by Zhao Anbang in his satchel, which also contained a trial plan for selling land.It is land sale, not the free land distribution he envisioned. According to the plan, each mu of land will be sold to farmers who have signed the contract at a price of 300 to 500 yuan, depending on whether it is good or bad.Qian Huiren didn't quite understand, and when he had a drink with Zhao Anbang over peanuts and scrambled eggs, he complained dissatisfiedly to Zhao Anbang, "Isn't it a land distribution? Why did you sell the land?"

Zhao Anbang was in a good mood that day, a little excited, sipped his wine, patted the back of his hand, and said affectionately: "You stupid fat man, don't think about it, can you not charge some money? How can you be the secretary of the township party committee in the future? What kind of money is used for farmland water use? Three to five hundred yuan per mu is not too much. From the perspective of farmers, they should be able to afford it. From the perspective of your township government, it is a large sum of money, more than 100,000 mu If the land is sold, it will cost 50 to 60 million yuan. You can consider setting up an agricultural fund, which can be stored in the bank to earn interest. It will be profitable to invest in rolling development, and there will be money in the construction of farmland water conservancy. It can also be used as the development of agricultural industrialization in the future. Fund!"

Qian Huiren was immediately convinced, "Okay, okay, County Magistrate Zhao, you are really thoughtful and comprehensive!" Zhao Anbang said: "This is not what I thought of, it was Secretary Tianming who thought of it. Secretary Tianming has a problem, I will do my homework! Listen, there are more! In order to prevent land mergers and cause new polarization, the contractors sold The land is not allowed to be transferred within 50 years, as to whether it can be freely transferred after 50 years, we will talk about it after 50 years!" Qian Huiren laughed straight, "Okay, I don't know what will happen after fifty years, so let's try it first!"

Zhao Anbang said with a smile: "I think the sold land may have to be concentrated fifty years later! The small-scale peasant economy is definitely not good, and large-scale agriculture is the direction of development, but it is hard to say how to centralize the land. Therefore, you, fat man, must be aware of it, and keep your eyes on the far side. Don’t think that the agricultural problem will be solved by dividing the land like this! You should take a good look at this plan first, and study it with other comrades of the township party committee on a small scale. Ask the question!"

As soon as Qian Huiren put down the wine glass, he asked the question on the spot, "County Zhao, three to five hundred yuan per mu of land is not too much, but many farmers still can't afford it! Let's take my family as an example. Six acres of land, more than 3,000 yuan! My monthly salary is 36 yuan, and I have no money to get married. How can I get more than 3,000 yuan at once? Let alone farmers!" Zhao Anbang said: "Secretary Tianming and I have already thought about this issue. Fatty, do you think this will work? The land payment will be paid in three or five years. In addition, credit unions can also engage in mortgage loans and pledge the land to credit unions." Loans! One-time payment to give some discounts, plus installment payments and loans, I think it can start!"

Qian Huiren was amused, "County Zhao, so the pilot plan was approved by Secretary Tianming and the prefectural and county committees?" Zhao Anbang was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "Fatty, are you stupid? Ask this! Don't even think about what it is? This is against the policy, so you can only try it quietly! You don't have to try it if you are afraid of losing your black hat, or you can do it if you are not afraid." Let’s go for a while, you dog thing is in charge of it, I am responsible for the leadership, Secretary Tianming and the prefectural and county committees don’t know, do you understand?!”

Only then did Qian Huiren know that although Bai Ming, the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, secretly supported the pilot project of land distribution, he could not come forward publicly. That is to say, if something went wrong, he was to blame. . The fateful choice was in front of him like this. That night, under the dim light, facing Zhao Anbang's stern face, it was not that he had no way out, he could not take this risk at all.However, as the son of a Chinese farmer with a deep affection for the land, and as the secretary of the grassroots party committee who is well aware of the current situation in the countryside, he decided to take this risk.In good conscience, when he made this decision, he really did not expect that he would become some kind of trusted backbone of Bai Ming and Zhao Anbang in the future, and would be reused by these two leaders in his official career. Those rumors later were all nonsense.

However, the facts have proved that some high-voltage lines in China cannot be touched, and some barriers cannot be broken indiscriminately. Liuji Township's land sale plan has been tried out for less than two months, and only a small half of the township's more than 100,000 mu of land has been sold. The word spread to the ears of Yu Huabei, the county magistrate and deputy secretary of the county party committee.Yu Huabei was shocked, so he personally came forward and ran to Liuji Township to call for an emergency stop, while reporting to Chen Tonghe, secretary of the Wenshan District Committee, that he had sold both Zhao Anbang and Bai Ming.

Secretary Chen Tonghe didn't believe it at first, thinking that Yu Huabei lied about the military situation and asked Zhao Anbang, who was in charge of agriculture, to report it. Zhao Anbang went there and reported: "Secretary Chen, Liuji Township is just a pilot project, stop if it doesn't work..." Chen Tonghe was so angry that he slapped the table on the spot, "Can this kind of thing be tried? This not only violates the current land policy, but also violates the law and the Constitution! The Constitution clearly states that: the land of the People's Republic of China is owned by the state, Doesn’t the secretary of the township party committee surnamed Qian in Liuji Township know? You, the deputy county magistrate, are still involved? Who is behind you? It is said that some leaders of our prefectural committee have also been involved, is this the case?!”

Zhao Anbang saved Bai Ming at that time, "Secretary Chen, I have to report this clearly: the pilot land sale has nothing to do with any leader of the county or prefectural committee, it was first proposed by the comrades in Liuji Township, and I agree to do it! " Chen Tonghe didn't believe it at all, so he issued a document that day to suspend Zhao Anbang's post, and personally brought the investigation team down. Zhao Anbang was doomed, and so was Qian Huiren. On the third day after the investigation team of the prefectural committee came down, Chen Tonghe and the secretary came forward to talk to him, and brought two young people to take notes.Chen Tonghe patted Zhao Anbang on the table, but didn't pat the table on him. His attitude was very kind. During the whole conversation, he kept handing him cigarettes. It was Yunyan.At that time, Yunyan screamed quite loudly.There is another detail, which Qian Huiren also remembers very clearly, that is, Chen Tong and the secretary used to go to the toilet. The conversation went on for three hours, and the old man went to the toilet at least seven or eight times.It was only later that I found out that Secretary Chen Tonghe had been in poor health. He had a problem with his prostate gland, and the problem was not small. After retirement, he finally died of prostate cancer.At that time, Qian Huiren was the deputy mayor of Ningchuan. After hearing the news, he asked someone to send a wreath to Chen Tonghe.

The secretary of the prefectural party committee treated him very well, which does not mean that he would be lenient on this matter. 1986 was not 1996. The style of the cadres in 1986, especially the style of the veteran cadres, was unnerving. people admire.Local protectionism is not so prevalent, and orthodox leaders like Chen Tonghe haven't learned how to deal with the top and protect the bottom from death.As soon as the land division incident came out, Chen Tonghe reported to the provincial party committee in the name of the prefectural party committee, and he also took the initiative to conduct a self-criticism and assumed leadership responsibilities.Next, Chen Tonghe and the Wenshan District Committee followed the spirit of the provincial party committee's instructions to find out the truth, and it was reasonable to hold on to the two leaders, Bai Ming and Zhao Anbang, and there was absolutely no other meaning. Therefore, Chen Tonghe said at the beginning of the conversation: "Comrade Qian Huiren, the Wenshan Prefectural Committee and I absolutely do not believe that the land allocation of Liuji Township is only decided by your township party committee! We are all members of the Communist Party. You must be loyal and honest to the organization. Today I am talking to you on behalf of the prefectural committee, and I hope you will seek truth from facts! Please clarify, to what extent did Comrade Bai Ming, deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, and Comrade Zhao Anbang, deputy county magistrate, participated in this matter?" Qian Huiren's heart was gloomy, and he felt that he was finished anyway, so there was no need to involve Bai Ming and Zhao Anbang again. Besides, Zhao Anbang had also said hello that the county and prefectural committees should not be involved, so he said, "Secretary Chen, this matter has nothing to do with Bai The secretary and county magistrate Zhao really don’t matter, it’s just me making my own decisions! Some new situations emerged in the first round of land contracting. I reported to Secretary Bai and county magistrate Zhao, but I didn’t dare to mention the land distribution. ,real!" Chen Tonghe lowered his face, "Didn't you mention it in front of Zhao Anbang? Not only did you mention it, but you also got Zhao Anbang's support. Even the trial plan for land division was created by Zhao Anbang, and Comrade Zhao Anbang himself admitted it!" Qian Huiren knew that Zhao Anbang had been suspended, so it was not surprising to hear this. He knew that Zhao Anbang could not be saved, but he still stood up, "Secretary Chen, when you said that, I remembered: I seem to have mentioned it to the county magistrate Zhao once, and I was criticized by the county magistrate Zhao at that time. The county magistrate Zhao said that I drank too much, so I didn’t even think about it! Oh, yes, yes, I remembered it all : County Magistrate Zhao also scolded me for being a small peasant, saying that I want to be a landlord..." This conversation made Chen Tonghe very angry. According to Qian Huiren told by the comrades of the investigation team, Chen Tonghe had an evaluation of him, saying that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and his political quality was bad, so he should be expelled from the party.At that time, Qian Huiren also felt that he might lose his party membership, or even his public office, let alone his fear. In subsequent conversations with members of the investigation team, he insisted on his wrong position and continued to talk about all kinds of things about distributing contracted land to farmers. benefit.After Zhao Anbang learned of this situation, he was both moved and anxious, and asked his newly married wife Liu Yan to bring a sentence, "Keep the green hills here, and don't worry about running out of firewood!" , wrote a "deep inspection". Unexpectedly, in the end, the party membership was still retained, and the secretary of the provincial party committee Liu Huanzhang personally issued instructions to "stay in the party for probation to see the effect".He also kept his public job. Although Liuji Township Party Secretary was not allowed to be the secretary of the party committee, porridge was still available. In September of that year, he went to the county family planning office as the deputy director who drank tea and read newspapers.The two leaders were also transferred away. With a serious warning, Tianming left Wenshan and went to Ningchuan to become the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee.At that time, Ningchuan and Wenshan were not comparable. Wenshan was an important town in the north, while Ningchuan was an inconspicuous small city in the south. The use of cadres has always been half a grid lower than Wenshan.Zhao Anbang was punished with a major administrative demerit and arranged to be the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry in Baishanzi County, the poorest in Wenshan.At that time, Baishanzi had only one weaving factory, three small restaurants and a dozen rural cooperatives.The rise of Baishanzi township enterprises was a later thing, and it was also started by Zhao Anbang. For Qian Huiren, the biggest blow to the land-dividing turmoil was not the organization's handling. The organization is already lenient enough. It's really learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones.The biggest blow came from the aspect of life: after talking for several years, his fiancée Sun Pingping, who was about to get married, left him.It's not Sun Pingping's fault, it's Sun Pingping's father who is the head of the organization in the county.Comrade ministers are far-sighted and have a political vision. I told my daughter that Xiaoqian is doomed in this life, and there is no hope in his official career. People who make such political mistakes will never be reused in the organization. Of course , Comrade Minister later regretted clearing his bowels... Go to the family planning office to drink tea and read newspapers, and there will be more opportunities to meet Yu Huabei.This turmoil made Yu Huabei the biggest winner. The county magistrate Yu was politically firm, and he became a cadre admired by the prefectural party secretary Chen Tonghe. Later, he went up step by step, from county magistrate Yu to deputy mayor Yu , and became Mayor Yu again.The future Mayor Yu is very concerned about him. When we met in the county party committee compound, he would sometimes pat him on the shoulder and say, "Little Qian, don't complain, don't blame the organization, you have to work hard, you still have hope. !" He smiled and answered, but cursed in his heart, "Mother, with an organization like yours, what hope do I have? It's not because you report to the higher authorities, Secretary Bai and County Magistrate Zhao will be dealt with." Can I, an older young man who is not married, come here to distribute contraceptives!" At that moment, Qian Huiren saw it clearly: the so-called organization is composed of specific people, and his organization is Bai Ming and Zhao Anbang. Only by following these two leaders will he have a way out.So, in March of the following year, through Zhao Anbang's coordination, he was transferred to the industrial office of Baishanzi County, and followed Zhao Anbang to revitalize township enterprises...
